Turbulence Research.

Abstract

Turbulent flows were studied especially those aspects that are dominated by the intrinsic nonlinearity of the governing equations. Theories were developed first for the calculation on quasi-parallel shear flows later for coherent turbulent puffs. Measurement techniques were developed for conditional sampling and averaging as well as for detection of large scale coherent motion. By using these above techniques the structure of shear flows was clarified. In order to study coherent structures a special flow termed 'turbulent puff' was devised and its properties were determined and compared with the above mentioned theory.
